The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2598 Promotion and New Mission

On the same day that the guild's Supreme Leader awoke from his cultivation, word spread through the city about an important meeting attended by all the Elders, the Commander, and the Generals present at the headquarters.

But Minos and his group didn't need to hear rumors to find out. Even before the rumors spread through the guild, Generals came to his cave to escort him to the guild's core!

With only Abby by his side, he left the rest of his family to meet one of the most powerful beings in Oqia, fearing what it might mean.

Ever since he discovered how valuable his heart could be to others, he had a certain fear of anyone who was much stronger than him!

But when he met Jalai and all seven available Elders at the headquarters today, he sighed as he discovered what this call meant.

Facing the man with the white hair, beard and mustache, Minos and Abby bent their knees while pressing one of their palms firmly into one of his fists, their heads bowed, both being promoted.

"Minos Stuart, from now on you will be the newest General of the Armhands, responsible to expand the guild towards Uzira. At your side, Senior Officer Abby Miller will assist you until a General position is available for her." The Sect Leader said as the Elders and the Commander followed the promotion ceremony.

Updated from .

"You two will go to Uzira as soon as you have completed your preparations. The guild will provide you with all the support you need, including resources, artifacts, merit points, and time off from your other duties. You should continue to produce Supreme corpses, but otherwise focus on strengthening yourself and preparing for the trip to Uzira. The Violent Sea is terrible, dangerous even for me. But it's not impossible to survive the journey, even at your level."

Minos and Abby glanced at each other, not expecting this to be the guild leader's wish. But upon reflection, it made sense that after all they had done, they would be given a role so favorable to their own interests.

'The guild is truly run by good leaders. Using the interests of their men to develop the interests of the guild. Fantastic.' Minos thought, seeing Jalai's move for what it really was, but satisfied. This would give him several opportunities to make better use of the remaining decades before his journey with Tiolos began.

"I appreciate the opportunity, Supreme Leader. I hope I can live up to expectations and take Armhands to Uzira."

Minos and Abby said simultaneously as the blessing of the guild's Supreme Leader fell upon them, giving more power to the Flashdrain parasite on their foreheads.

The parasite on Minos' body quickly burned with golden flames, gradually becoming invisible on Minos' forehead.

Abby's parasite grew in power and potential, but it didn't reach the point of evolution, as she would only become a General when Elder Juma left his post and the change of Armhands began.

Minos felt his parasite grow much stronger, a sign that the sacrifice of this creature on his forehead would be even stronger than before.

He thanked it once more before listening. "Minos, you're not taking over the role of a former General, so you don't have any guild members to command.

Your task before leaving for Uzira will be to build a group under your wing, with Officers and outside members who can grow into pillars of the guild's expanding group. Some of these members should travel with you to Uzira, while others will stay behind to send out fresh groups in the future."

Minos understood what he had to do and saw this as an opportunity to generate many promotions within the guild and further increase his faction's influence.

"I will try to have everything ready in a century at the most," he said, receiving a nod of approval.

Minos and Abby stood up and greeted the Elders and Generals present, as well as the Commander.

Navey wasn't there, as he was fighting the guild's enemies in the current war with the Firestone Mines coalition.

But Segiel was there, and she couldn't help but introduce her master to Minos, who congratulated him on his exploits with the corpses and the black liquid.

First Elder Juma seized the opportunity and approached Minos. "General Minos, your career within the guild is impressive. In less than three centuries, you've risen from Recruit to General. I'm afraid no one but your wife can repeat this feat." Juma smiled as he looked at Abby.

"The elder flatters me," she said, feeling uncomfortable being praised by someone so strong.

"Anyway, you're going to Uzira together, right? I have something precious to tell you about this continent and the black liquid."

Minos narrowed his eyes as he realized what was coming next.

"We first discovered the black liquid through a spatial distortion emanating from Uzira. As you know, The Obsidian Shore is a chaotic place. Some of the spatial distortions in the area are connected to different parts of Zocarro or even other worlds. But among those connections, we believe, is Uzira."

"Is that true?" Abby asked in amazement. As far as she knew, the only way to travel to Uzira was through the Violent Sea.

"Yes, but don't think you can travel to Uzira that way. That's the kind of distortion that only lifeless liquids could resist. In any case, we have enough evidence to say that the black liquid came from Uzira." The First Elder's gaze deepened. "When you arrive in Uzira, you must strengthen yourselves and establish a base for the guild. Then you must get to know this place and carefully search for the black liquid.

When you return in the future, bring as much as you can. With it, we can have corpses strong enough to guarantee the connection between Oqia and Uzira."

Minos and Abby believed Juma and imagined that if they could create Celestial corpses with the black liquid, they could have transporters strong enough to guarantee the journey back and forth between Uzira and Oqia for weaker individuals.

It would be perfect for their family!
